Robbinga Train,

.
PITTsBURe, Pa, January Is. - Five
masked robbers boarded a Pan Handle
freight train near Sheridan station just
at the outskirts of this city last night
and were detected in the act of throw
ing valuable freight from the train. In
a desperate fight which;ensued Fireman
Curley was shot through the right thigh
and brakeman knocked senseless, the
robbers escaping; the latter had set
three brakes to make the train move
slowly and this led to their detection.
1t is thought the robbers secreted
themselves in the car before the train
left this city, and as soon as they were
beyond the city limits they forced open
the doors. They then broke open the
car doors and threw out a number of
guns and quantity of ammunition. It
is thought the men got away with some
Of the arms. Several theories have
been advanced as to why cars were Sc
lected that were loaded with arms. It
is thought by some persons that the
gang may have been Anarchists, and
they were trying TO secure rifles ana
ammunition for future uses. They evil
IDENTIFY seemed to hove known before
hand what the contents of the cars
were, as the cars broken open contained
arms.

The LorflIard Strikers.

JERSEY CITY, January ia commit
tee OF LoriNard strikers visited the FAC
tory to-day and informed the men in
the engineers department that they
should draw such fires as would be re-
qEred and the men who were needed
to attend fires should stay at work.
The men at the stables Were informed
that they would not be molested in re-
moving goods in the factory that we're
ready for shipment. These two de-
partments were the only ones in opera
ton to-day. 1t is now definitely aseer-

strikers have against the company is a
reduction that was commenced in the
number of employees. They claim that
this virtually increased their labor and
reduced their wages.
